Christmas market in Quedlinburg

The magic of Christmas finds its way into the 1000 year old UNESCO world heritage town. Angels flit through the festively decorated alleyways with their thousand year old cobbles – the Christmas market has arrived in front of the town hall. Discover peculiarities hidden behind walls at “Advent in the courtyards”: on the three weekends leading up to Christmas the historical houses in the centre open the gates to their inner courtyards and offer up precious objects and rarities. Advent is celebrated in true style in Quedlinburg. The sounds of seasonal music and organ recitals ring out from the churches. Christmas music can also be heard every day on Schlossberg hill, when a new half-timbered house opens its door to become part of the Quedlinburg Advent Calendar. No less fascinating is the 'Magic of Christmas', when shop windows across the town display a lovingly assembled collection of old-fashioned dolls' kitchens and toy grocery stores. Children streak through the fairytale wood. No one can get away from the magic of Christmas in Quedlinburg.
